Grace or Stupidity?

I don't have a lot of time to make a post before leaving for the day but I've been chewing on a recent news event that took place in Hardin County, Ohio.

Two high school athletes stole a decoy deer, painted obscenities on it, put it in the middle of a rural road at night and waited to see what would happen. What proceeded to happen was two teens were nearly killed that night. Robert Roby Jr., who was 18 at the time, swerved his car and crashed, nearly costing him a leg. He is facing his 11 th surgery since the crash. Roby’s passenger, Dustin Zachariah, who was 17, suffered broken bones, collapsed lungs and brain damage. His mother says he now has the cognitive ability of a sixth-grader.

Here's the kicker. The judge sentenced the boys to six months in jail but only after they finish the football season. Hmmm.
